Confession #2 - I confess, which probably seems rather ironic, that though I am the wife of a dairy farmer, I would NEVER, EVER want to 'be' a dairy farmer; I wouldn't qualify very well.
Helpful job descriptions for this all-weather, dairy farming occupation include the following:
- feet which survive on cold cement & do not require socks at night 9 months of the year
- hands which do not get rough in in cold water or on a quick run without gloves to the mailbox
- bladder which does not interrupt most tasks
- can function on less than average number of hours of sleep
- body fights off colds and flu well and keeps going like the energizer bunny
- mind that reads and comprehends complicated, official documents
- brain that retains a multitude of info on updated topics
- faith and calmness to be able to pay large and looming bills
- and most of all, hair that doesn't wash out the colored roots on each return from the barn!
But I do LOVE many things about "being" the wife of a farmer.....but then came the years 2008 and 2009.
